Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

If I choose a Democrat as the President, I want someone knowledgeable and fiscally logical. A person who wants America first, and one who can truly unite the political parties, as well as the citizens of our nation. How about Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear? I think I like his policies and leadership.
I’ll go with Trump thank you.
Who? Anyone who still breathes. We will see most likely before the convention.
The progressives would have to swallow hard to accept another white male billionaire as their candidate, but don’t think for a minute they wouldn’t do it. As much as I think Pritzker would be a flawed candidate, the liberal media would coalesce behind him in ways that would make your head spin. The propaganda would be unbelievable, and the fact that he has been hammering Trump non-stop would play well with those with TDS. To see Pritzker destroy the country like he has Illinois would be a nightmare in living color.
Don’t be surprised if Bernie emerges from his Vermont groundhog hole or the person that truly wears the pants in the Obama household emerge. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Yes. And things are extremely desperate for the Democrats. Bernie can’t fix it, and taking Michele over Kamala presents problems too. They need a bombshell to change the dynamics. I fear what they might do to provide it.
